Long and ferocious version that hardly lets up for a second. One of the best moments of an underrated show.

astonishing, otherworldly jamming and interplay on this version, Jerry, Keith, and Bob going absolutely insane. A++

Absolutely mesmerizing version. The main ten theme is jammed out during the reprise for all it's worth!!!

This surprised the hell out of me. A very energetic, yet spacey and jazzy rendition with a reprise jam for the ages. Great stuff!!
